Wow this is the most frustrating thread I have ever read. As a RIC baby myself my opinion is still that religion is not part of this equation by my thoughts, and I appreciate others may not agree. Religion is not something you are born into it is a personal decission you make (when capable of making such descions) just like I fel circumsission should be. The fact that my parents allowed someont to strap me into a body restraignt and slice peice of my flesh off without any anesthetic amazes me they where meant to protect me and ave me from harm not inflict it on me. I am happy with the outcome of the circ as far as circs go mine could not have been a better job BUT I am not happy the the choice was taken from to have it done. I may be wrong but female circs where also done for religin and someone saw the logic in outlawing that practice why have they not seen the logic with boys? is it possibly that the most powerful country in the world has the highest circ rate and nobody inpower in other countries wants to offend them? Possibly. I think you would stire up alot of trouble if say New Zealand made Infant Circumcision Illegal (unless needed medicaly)
So I appreciate that some men are happy with being circed but I also think that if the desision was left for them that it probably would have been appreciated and it may have been a different outcome.
Plenty of religins have updted their practices to move with the change in their people for example (and it might be a bit weak) I thought sunday was they day of worship yet church in NZ now worship monday wednesday and friday also sometimes even at midnight. And this is just to accomodate that people work sundays now. I think if religion can bring themselves to accept this change within its people they could surely accept that they no longer want to put their bouncy baby boys through such devastation. I know that is a strong word but it so totally applies to how I feel about this being done to me.
